About this tour
Learn to blend and distil your own gin at this Torbay studio using a traditional copper pot still. Over two hours, you'll craft a bespoke 500ml bottle to take home, guided by experienced distillers who tailor the session to suit your group—whether it's a birthday, hen party or casual afternoon. Soft drinks and alcoholic beverages are provided throughout, making this a hands-on introduction to small-batch spirit production.

What to expect
You'll arrive at the studio and be introduced to the copper still and distillation process. The team walks you through selecting botanicals and blending techniques, then you'll actively handle the equipment to create your gin. Expect hands-on work—measuring, mixing, tasting—rather than passive demonstration. Halfway through, you'll pause for refreshments (soft drinks, tea, coffee, or alcohol). By the end, you'll have bottled and labelled your batch, ready to carry away. No prior knowledge needed; the two-hour session moves at a relaxed pace suited to groups or solo visitors.
Good to know
Pregnant travellers should check with the team before booking due to alcohol exposure in the workspace. The venue is fully wheelchair accessible. Service animals are welcome. Public transport stops are within easy reach, though parking may be limited on busy days.
